Haa divorce has become common recentlyThere is really no point attacking OP. He’s mentioned he wanted to marry a girl his own age and one older and that didn’t work out. He’s also young himself. He’s not even 25 yet. Also, marrying at 17/18 is completely normal back home. A lot of my cousins married at that age.
Biggest issue though with Somalis and young marriages is the high divorce rates. It’s young girls who suffer the most since they’ll marry at like 17, have a couple of kids and in many cases the marriages don’t work out and then many don’t have much of a way to support themselves and their families also tend to be poor. In many cases, some of girls either need to remarry or give up custody to the father since there aren’t any courts to force men to pay up. It’s happened to some women in my family. Two of my cousins kids were raised by their dads side for that reason.
Anyone that’s been back home will tell you divorce is rampant. I’ve met girls who haven’t even turned 25 yet who’ve been married twice. Since relationships are highly unstable, surely the best thing would be for families to invest in their daughters in terms of security. Many grandfathers end up having to help their daughters raise their kids or their daughters end up losing custody. Life isn’t easy for women back home wallahi and on this forum being honest about the conditions of women triggers men here. It’s due to these conditions I’m highlighting that makes women respond with exclamation of ‘predator’ and other comments and why they become fixated with this issue because marrying as a poor, penniless young girl can be a rough uphill battle in a place like back home.
I stopped the marriage twice before it started because I knew it would end in divorce
But I'm not a nervous person

One of my friends was married for only 8 months and divorced his wife
For a very trivial reason when he came to me He said, “I will divorce her .
He said she wanted to kill herself and she took a knife
I told him Don’t divorce her, no matter what happens
and I told him that maybe she pregnant, that's why she was angry, and she was pregnant .
In the end, the court ruled that he should give her $100 every month because in SL that is how if man asks for a divorce
He regretted it in the end because he paid the expenses of his wife and child but can't see them.
last time he tried to returner her
The problem is that women have become very emotional and men also and cannot bear it
